Chapter 130: You Want To Kill Me?

Nora continued to keep her eyes closed when she felt the door to the room open again, planning to use the same strategy she had previously used. However, her eyes widened when she noticed the direction of the door. It was on the opposite side from where the person who assaulted her had appeared.

And this time it really was her mother who entered the place. Even though she had known and expected this, seeing the woman who had meant the world to do this, made her heart break into a million pieces. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at her and spoke through her pain," It really is you."

Lara Anderson sighed and looked at the tall man who now lay motionless on the floor. "You’ve grown a lot, hmm? I saw what you did to him. Impressive."

Nora stared at the woman in front of her but said nothing. She couldn’t have said anything even if she wanted to-her throat was all choked up.

Seeing her sitting there quietly, Lara smiled and came closer but stopped a bit further away from Nora," I want to pat you on the face. Should I come closer or will you attack me too?"

A small, pained sound escaped Nora as she questioned," Why? At least tell me why?"

"Of course, I will tell you. It is why I have kept you alive for now. You have served me well for so many years. You should understand the truth before you die."

Nora scoffed at that," You can’t kill me. I don’t know what you want to achieve with all these stunts, but you most certainly cannot kill me or you won’t be able to claim your money."

"Tsk tsk. Do you really think I have been sitting twiddling my thumbs all these years, waiting for you or Sara to inherit? No. I have made my own arrangements. It’s just that I wanted to keep them as the last option. But first, tell me Nora, how do you like this place? This room?"

Nora blinked at the sudden change in topic and frowned up at her mother. As she did, she slowly started to rub her numb wrists against the loop of her jeans. The edge of the loop had a thin blade for the very purpose of cutting off the rope if her hands were tied. She had previously not used that weapon to keep an element of surprise but now that her mother was here, she needed to free her hands and find a way out of here.

"What? You do not like this room? I thought it is quite good. Did you greet your father, here? He is the one in that box over there." As Lara said this, she pointed to the skeleton that hung in the glass box behind her while she moved to look down on the skeleton that lay horizontally.

Nora felt her world spin as she looked at the skeleton there. A strange darkness appeared in front of her eyes while her ears seemed to have lost all their hearing. What sort of a monster was Lara Anderson?

"Stop staring at him. Let me introduce you to someone else. You see this skeleton here? She is your older sister. You met her when you were a baby but then she died tragically one day...in an accident. Her lover made sure she was buried well but I thought she would be lonely so I brought her here to accompany her father... See what a good mother and wife I am? This place is so big. It’s almost as if I’ve created an Egyptian pyramid for the entire family. So, what do you think? Do you want to be suspended next to your father or would you like to lay down next to your sister?"

Every grievance she had ever felt, every hurt that her mother had laid on her, Nora had been able to overlook, but standing here, looking into the woman’s eyes who was rather enjoying this, Nora felt a hatred unlike she had ever felt before. Hatred and madness.

She could see the touch of insanity in her mother’s eyes. And maybe it was inherited because she was sure that is someone would look at her right now, they would see the same madness in her. The thirst to kill this woman in front of her.

"I want to lay down next to you." Nora muttered and jumped to her feet as she raced towards Lara, determined to kill this woman. Her hands had already been freed from the rope and she could feel the rush of blood returning to her arms as she charged forward. But Nora had barely taken a few steps when the place was enveloped in an inky blackness and the lights had been snuffed out.

Nora stumbled and cursed, bringing her hands forward as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. Lara’s laughter echoed through the room as she said," You cannot kill me, Nora. You may have gained some physical training but you cannot kill. You do not have that kind of mental strength. You are a little weakling."

Nora stilled and tried to follow the direction of the echoing voice as the woman continued," I know you think that you can escape here. But you are wrong. You see, this is not a simple room. I have specially designed this room. So, I suggest you stop trying to fight me and give up. Now, your father and sister, they died of an ’illness’ and ’an accident’ respectively so I think you should die differently. For you, I am thinking death by starvation. It is a good one, isn’t it? Better than the one Sara had thought for you," Death by mauling from an animal. It was too crass so good thing you were saved..."

"What? Are you so shocked that you cannot say anything? Come on, open your mouth and beg for my mercy. You can do it. I might just allow you to escape!
